Tom Traubert's Blues |
Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the moon did |
I’ve got what I paid for now |
See ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow |
A couple of bucks from you? |
To go Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
I’m an innocent victim of a blinded alley |
And I’m tired of all these soldiers here |
No one speaks English, and every thing’s broken |
And my Stacys are soaking wet |
To go Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab’s parking |
A lot they can do for me |
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open |
And I’m down on my knees tonight |
Old Bushmills I staggered, you buried the dagger in |
Your silhouette window light |
To go Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I’ve kissed her |
And the one-armed bandit knows |
And the Maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs |
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows go |
Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
No, I don’t want your sympathy, the fugitives say |
That the streets aren’t for dreaming now |
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories |
They want a piece of the action anyhow go |
Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailer |
And the old men in wheelchairs know |
That Mathilda’s the defendant, she killed about a hundred |
And she follows wherever you may go |
Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda |
You’ll go Waltzing Mathilda with me |
And it’s a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace |
And a wound that will never heal |
No Prima Donna, the perfume is on |
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey |
And goodnight to the street sweepers |
The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight to Mathilda too |
